Which area of the team would you consider our weakest?

Teams properly in contention for the top spot don't scrape a point against second-from-bottom and that's the difference between us and Liverpool: Thier off-days result in wins. Chill - you’ll do yourself a mischief. I’m by no means happy with the performance or the result today but too many people are so keen to re-invent the wheel after a dodgy result to a team fighting for their lives. Still second. Still 10 (ten!!!) points clear of Chelsea in 4th. The sooner we stop comparing ourselves to Liverpool the better, we were never in a title race they are far too good - they’re form over the past 18 months proves they’ll go down as one of the all time great premier league teams, for me they won’t get beat this season. We’re in the early days of a project that, if it goes well, will see us up and around the top 4 competing every season. We’ve been spoilt this year with some fantastic results, but some performances, especially at home have been poor IMO, so could see something like this happening. We will be absolutely fine - we still have to play united at home and spurs again late in the season so it’s still all in our hands. We couldn’t be in a better position given our aspirations this season, which I’m sure you’ll agree is European football first and foremost.

I still don’t think the formation was the problem, the performance was. Pukki rode Soyuncu like a rented mule all day and most of the side was off the pace. The performance was poor but I felt in the first 20 of the second half we built up a head of steam and they were hanging on. I’ll admit though that last ten they could and maybe should have won. But in terms of pure structure and control we didn’t have it first half but did in the second. But we didn’t utilise it as you say!
HitchinFox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Disappointing performance and result, for sure. But we gained a point on Chelsea.
Blue-fox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Should have threw albrighton in the middle with 15 to go to to have had some energy in there. Needed his energy.
Mark_w Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Did VAR not see Krul kick Kelechi or just not care?

Needed his energy. I agree with this but think the reason Rodgers didn’t do it is he would have to hook one of the subs which could damage their confidence. Though Maddison was anonymous outside of set piece delivery I don’t think he or Tielemans could be withdrawn.
Tazfox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Any news on the elderly fan that was getting attended to by paramedics after the final whistle? Hope he was ok but didn't look good :(. Today was a struggle they played well above their League position and we played well below ours. I would have kept Kelechi on. We seemed to lose a bit of impetus when he came on. But they were killing us down the right hand side.

urban fox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Ok so not our best performance,too many having an off day and we just didn’t click. Fair play to Norwich they came and did a job on us. But in true ft fashion the criticism of many of our players is a bit over the top. Had bad game? Sell them, burn them at the stake or whatever. Nobody died, we drew a football match that on paper we should have won. Move on. We are still a good side
Sly Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 It was just a bad day at the office. To be fair to Norwich, are they really that bad?! We’ve played worse teams this season. They setup to stifle the fullbacks and it worked. Maybe Perez would have been a better option, however what’s done is done. We move on and go again. We need to beat Liverpool. For the sake of the countries sanity, as all the fans will be insufferable if they go unbeaten all season.

And it’s not like we have a shortage of them. Put it this way if we were doing any business in January it should be that area we look to strengthen. And maybe Greys had his time here.
UniFox21 Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Officials need to grow some balls and stop time wasting when its first being used, not book the keeper after 30 plus minutes of it.
murphy Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Well this brings to an end the run of nine games against lower half opposition. Plenty of potential banana skins and we amassed 25 points out of 27 which is remarkable. Sometimes it doesn't click, sometimes you are under par, sometimes the opposition step up or they just don't suit you. It happens. Liverpool struggled today by all accounts. Our team has not suddenly become rubbish, just an off day in the context of the bigger picture. Let's stay positive and onto the next one.
sm1 Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Very poor effort by all. Even the bench was useless. This might be a bit of a jolt to those players that started to believe the hype.

Incredible run that had to come to an end at some point. Didn't expect it to be today and maybe the players didn't either but we got out with a point so onwards and upwards
Haywood_6 Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 Well played Norwich. Fair result in the end. We were far from our best today
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 15 minutes ago, Sly said: I couldn’t get my head around that either. Found Norwich quite cynical, going down constantly and surrounding the ref. Loads of time wasting as well. Still if it takes their best performance of the season and our worst then it shows how far we've come when we're still getting a point.
Countryfox Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 After Brendan specifically asking fans this week not to leave early off they went in their droves with about 5 minutes plus extra to go ... what a fvckin embarrassment !!
l444ry Posted 14 December 2019 Posted 14 December 2019 First time this season that Brendan might have got things wrong. The diamond just wasn't working. At least he was proactive and changed the shape. Unfortunate for Nacho and Praet but needed doing. Could well have been different if we'd scored first, One point and move on. Thought the 3000 at Villa made more noise than the 32000 at the KP.
